Yes, i've heard that the diesel is no good, intakes clogging up etc, the petrol seems the way to go, and only slightly more fuel.

Thanks for the responses, now to find a nice red one! (goes faster).

Do you think the 2 litre to 2.5? The car will do 90% round town and 10% highway.

No issues, the CX3 was a great little car for the wife and I loved my X Trail but when I retired and bought a bigger caravan for longer trips I sold both cars and bought our MUX.

If you really want to hear about Mazda's the Mazda forums will provide more info than the Isuzu forum

maweida:
Thanks Barney, sounds good, now to find a nice one

Just bought the CX5 (3 years old), very excited (mums roundabout).

Ended up with the 2.5L Petrol AWD version. Gets 8l/100km round town.

Saved $40,000 not buying an EV (paid $25k, versus $65k). I'll put the $40k in 12% return ETFs which will easily pay for the fuel, and i keep the $40k.

Only takes 40 seconds to recharge it   :p. Simple 6 speed auto, no over priced hybrid, no electric (battery will be toast in 7 years).

Nearly all cars are worthless after 10 years (except Isuzu or Toyota of course), I'll only loose $25k, versus $65K for electric. RIP EV!

thanks for everyones advice

maweida:
Just got a price for RAV4 hybid = $54,000, but they get 6l/100km.

So you save $360 in petrol over 10,000km of driving.

So it would take 80 years to recover the cost of the car (compared to CX5). Toyota oh what a feeling

Mazda, my second love (Isuzu / wife are the first!)
